Why Canada’s Outbreak Response Failed
Did Canada get outbreak response dangerously wrong? In this episode, we break down the controversial ostrich culling and expose why panic, poor leadership, and bad data led to a public health failure.
Host Mike is joined by Dr. Jeff Wilson, epidemiologist and outbreak response expert from Novometrix Metrics, to explain what should have happened—and how a proven outbreak response model could prevent future disasters across health, agriculture, and public policy.
In this episode, we cover:
• The four pillars of outbreak response and why they matter
• What went wrong in the ostrich culling and bird flu response
• Why leadership, testing, and transparency failed
• How panic-driven decisions erode public trust
• Why outbreak response applies to homelessness, drugs, and governance
